Ubuntu Wiki

Ubuntu HugDay-Tools are a set utilities to simplify the managing of the UbuntuBugDay, it so far allows you to:

• get a list of ubuntu hugdays
• get a list of tasks for a hugday
• mark tasks as DONE

Download it

You can download some older packaged versions of the tools from Markus Korn PPA or get the branch with:

    $ bzr branch lp:hugday-tools

You may also need to install python-libxml2 before using the tools.

    $ sudo apt-get install python-libxml2

HowTo use it

• get url of latest hugday:

    $ hugday current

• If you would like to run any of the following commands it is essential to run

    $ hugday current --remember

By running this command know on which hugday you operate

• get list of all task for current hugday:

    $ hugday list
    $ hugday list --filter open  (get list of all open tasks)

So far the hugday tool did not change any content of a wiki page, to be able to do so, the tool needs the users MOIN ID, so first you need to log in to the Ubuntu Wiki and then run:

    $ hugday init --user LAUNCHPAD_ID --cookie PATH/TO/MOZILLA/COOKIE

Where LAUNCHPAD_ID is the name which will be shown in the 'triager' column after marking a task as DONE. Please only use your Launchpad Id so you can be listed at the 5-a-day automatically as well and COOKIE is the cookies.sqlite or cookie.txt of your mozilla browser profile.

NOTE: you need to close your browser while running the command above as the cookie.sqlite can only be accessed by one process at the same time.

If you are not using a mozilla based browser you can also search for the MOIN_ID or MOIN_SESSION in the cookie file of your browser and run

    $ hugday init --user LAUNCHPAD_ID --wiki-id (MOIN_ID or MOIN_SESSION)

Now marking tasks as DONE by you is as simple as running:

    $ hugday close 123456 23456 3456 456
